I went micro in the end Jimmy as when I mocked it up on full lock the steering fouled the receiver, but when I then attached the suspension/servo (having sold the sanwa and bought the micro!) I realised that you don't really use all the steering link lock in reality so it would have fit all along, doh!!
By the way, I think (haven't tried it but looked) if you use an R1 esc and mount it upright then the futaba 2.4 receiver will fit in between the servo and esc!
